ΠΡΟΑΣΤΕΙΑΜΕΝ, προαστειαμεν
PROASTEIAMEN, proasteiamen
Sounds Like: pro-AS-tee-ah-MEN
Translations: suburbs indeed, the suburbs on the one hand, a suburb indeed, the outskirts indeed
From the root: ΠΡΟΑΣΤΕΙΟΝ
Part of Speech: Noun, Particle
Explanation: This is a compound phrase formed by the noun 'προάστειον' (proasteion), meaning 'suburb' or 'outskirt', and the particle 'μέν' (men), which adds emphasis or indicates a contrast ('indeed', 'certainly', 'on the one hand'). The noun 'προάστειον' is in the accusative plural form, 'προάστεια'. The combined form 'προάστεια μέν' would typically be written as two separate words, 'προάστεια μὲν'. The provided form 'ΠΡΟΑΣΤΕΙΑΜΕΝ' suggests a possible scribal error or a very close joining of the words. It refers to the areas just outside a city.
